Naturex and its Korean distributor Ju Yeong NS have been granted a Health Functional Food Ingredient Certificate for Svetol®, the unique and most studied green coffee bean extract available on the market, for its benefits on weight management.

The scientific validity of studies on Svetol® (green coffee bean extract) has been recognized by the Korean Minister of Food & Drug Safety. With a minimum daily dose of 400 mg of Svetol®, the authorities have allowed Naturex to use a claim concerning weight management for its green coffee extract.

Moreover, this individual license ingredient will help to raise awareness about green coffee bean extract in the Korean weight loss market.

It is derived from 100% unroasted premium Robusta beans that have undergone a proprietary extraction process and possess a unique composition that offers the benefits of green coffee in a plant extract and helps facilitate weight loss. This 100% all-natural plant concentrate has no side effects and contains less caffeine than a quarter cup of coffee.
